The Power of Emotional Intelligence

Marc Monteil has worked in over 50 countries as an emotional intelligence coach and educator, and that international perspective gives this podcast a genuinely global feel. As the founder of Intemotionnelle.com, Monteil brings a structured, educational approach to the five core pillars of EQ: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Each episode focuses on a specific concept or model, like secondary emotions, Gross's Emotion Regulation Model, or mindfulness and embodied awareness, and breaks it down in language that is accessible without being oversimplified. The podcast is listened to in 82 countries, which speaks to how well the content translates across cultures. Monteil also created an illustrated children's book called Beyond The Hidden Door about mastering emotions, and that interest in making complex emotional concepts understandable for all ages influences his podcast style. He explains ideas clearly and builds from foundational concepts rather than assuming listeners already have a background in psychology. The show covers practical EQ skills alongside more conceptual material, including how emotional intelligence plays out in workplace dynamics and personal relationships. Episodes are well-organized and the production is clean. This is a particularly good entry point for someone new to emotional intelligence who wants a thorough, systematic education in the core concepts. Monteil's multicultural background also means the examples and references feel broader than what you typically get from a single-country perspective.
